For those of you who get MLBEI and depend on it,like myself, to watch the Reds,they won't be on it tonight. The game falls into the 1 to 7pm range that Fox has exclusive rights. So that means these home games that start at 6:10pm won't be on EI most of the season. I knew that would be the case when I heard back in the Winter the Reds said they were moving the start times up one hour for Saturday games. I wish they hadn't have done that.

Omg you're right. Same goes for mlb.tv. Will I not be able to watch the entire game or just until 7?
